Smith, Johnson, Thomas
Smith; Johnson; Thomas
Smith + Johnson + Thomas

(NOTE: all included first names - skipped for brevity here)
In calibre, you would need to have all your author names separated by a &.

I.E. Jacob Smith & Thomas Johnson & Sarah Thomas for the author name with the autogenerated author sort field being:
Smith, Jacob & Johnson, Thomas & Thomas, Sarah

Otherwise, the author names shown on your Kobo and in calibre will have issues matching.

Looking at one of my wife's books, author(s) is:
Code:
Annabelle Anders & Suzanna Medeiros & Tammy Andresen & K. J. Jackson & Tracy Sumner & Rachel Smith & Christine Murray Donovan & Darcy Burke & Robyn Dehart & Diana Bold & Heather Boyd & Nancy Yeager & Amy Quinton
while author sort is:
Code:
Anders, Annabelle & Medeiros, Suzanna & Andresen, Tammy & Jackson, K. J. & Sumner, Tracy & Smith, Rachel & Donovan, Christine Murray & Burke, Darcy & Dehart, Robyn & Bold, Diana & Boyd, Heather & Yeager, Nancy & Quinton, Amy
Anthologies are the reason that I truncate the authors and author sort to the first entry when generating the filename for my Kobo ereaders while leaving all the author names searchable.

Ebooks/{author_sort:sublist(0,1,&)}/{title} - {authors:sublist(0,1,&)}
